fan cam

Concert audience camera

A fan cam is video footage of a celebrity, athlete, or performer shot and shared by a fan rather than official media.

The term is especially common in K-pop fandom, where fans post closeup concert footage focusing on a single performer: The fan cam of her solo dance break got two million views.

Sports broadcasts also use dedicated camera feeds called fan cams to highlight individual players during games.
